Andrew Abrams’s Summary

I wear a variety of business hats. My early career as an industrial designer had me conceiving, engineering, and developing consumer products mostly in toys and giftware. That experience allows me to combine design skills with my marketing services.

As a licensing agent for artists, designers, and inventors of new product concepts, I was instrumental in guiding those creatives in their business, career, and personal lives. That activity launched my professional whole-life coaching practice.
